My mother said to me that mental illness, “Runs in the family. But nobody has ever received help for it”. Wish she was still here, even though she used to make a knuckle in her fist to crack me on the head.

The point I’m trying to make but failing to, is that your mother won’t always be there. Now. Would you like to hear the good news or the bad news?

The good news is that you could, in time, replace the negative feedback in your head with more positive, healthy self talk. How long it takes isn’t all your choice, most of it depends on your choices.

The bad news is that believe it or not, you are going to miss your mother when she’s gone. Or is that good 2?
